[00:-1.00]1  The Hyde School operates on the principle
[00:-2.00]that if you teach students the merit of such values as truth,
[00:-3.00]courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity and concern.
[00:-4.00]then academic achievement naturally follows.
[00:-5.00]Hyde School founder Joseph Gauld claims
[00:-6.00]success with the program at the $18,000-a-year high school in Bath,Maine,
[00:-7.00]which has received considerable publicity for its work with troubled youngsters.
[00:-8.00]2  "We don\'t see ourselves as a school for a type of kid,"
[00:-9.00]says Malcolm Gauld, Joseph\'s son,
[00:10.00]who graduated from Hyde and is now headmaster,
[00:11.00]"We see ourselves as preparing kids for a way
[00:12.00]of life - by cultivating a comprehensive set of principles that can affect all kids."
[00:13.00]Now, Joe Gauld is trying to spread his controversial Character First idea to public,
[00:14.00]inner-city schools willing to use the tax dollars
[00:15.00]spent on the traditional program for the new approach.
[00:16.00]The first Hyde public school program opened in September 1992.
[00:17.00]Within months the program was suspended.
[00:18.00]Teachers protested the program\'s demands
[00:19.00]and the strain associated with more intense work.
[00:20.00]4  This fall, the Hyde Foundation is scheduled to begin
[00:21.00]a preliminary public school program in Baltimore.
[00:22.00]Teachers will be trained to later work throughout the entire Balti-more system.
[00:23.00]Other US school managers are eyeing the program, too.
[00:24.00]Last fall, the Hyde Foundation
[00:25.00]opened a magnet program within a public high school in the suburbs of New Haven.
[00:26.00]Connecticut, over parents\' protests.
[00:27.00]The community feared the school would attract inner-city minority
[00:28.00]and trouble students.
[00:29.00]5  As in Maine the quest for truth is also
[00:30.00]wide-spread at the school in Connecticut.
[00:31.00]In one English class,
[00:32.00]the 11 students spend the last five minutes
[00:33.00]in an energetic exchange evaluating
[00:34.00]their class performance for the day on a 1-10 scale.
[00:35.00]6  "I get a 10."
[00:36.00]7  "I challenge that. You didn\'t either your grammar or your spelling homework."
[00:37.00]8  "OK, a seven."
[00:38.00]9  "You ought to get a six."
[00:39.00]10  "Wait, I put my best effort forth here."
[00:40.00]11  "Yeah, but you didn\'t ask questions today."
[00:41.00]12  Explaining his approach to education,
[00:42.00]Joe Gauld says the conventional education system cannot be reformed.
[00:43.00]He notes "no amount of change"
[00:44.00]with the horse and carriage "will produce an automobile".
[00:45.00]The Hyde School assumes "every human being has a unique potential"
[00:46.00]that is  based on character,
[00:47.00]not intelligence or wealth.
[00:48.00]Conscience and hard work are valued.
[00:49.00]Success is measured by growth, not academic achievement.
[00:50.00]Students are required to take responsibility for each other.
[00:51.00]To avoid the controversy of other character programs used in US schools,
[00:52.00]Gauld says the concept of doing your best
[00:53.00]has nothing to do with forcing the students
[00:54.00]to accept a particular set of morals or religious values.
[00:55.00]13  The Hyde curriculum is similar to conventional
[00:56.00]schools that provide preparation for college,
[00:57.00]complete with English, history, math and science.
[00:58.00]But all students are required to take performing arts and sports,
[00:59.00]and provide a community service.
[-1:00.00]For each course,
[-1:-1.00]students get a grade for academic achievement and for "best effort".
[-1:-2.00]At Bath, 97% of the graduates attend four-year colleges.
[-1:-3.00]14  Commitment among parents is a key ingredient in the Hyde mixture.
[-1:-4.00]For the student to gain admission,
[-1:-5.00]parents also must agree to accept and demonstrate
[-1:-6.00]the school\'s philosophies and outlook.

[-1:-7.00]The parents agree in writing to meet monthly in one of 20 regional groups,
[-1:-8.00]go to a yearly three-day regional retreat,
[-1:-9.00]and spend at least three times a year in workshops,
[-1:10.00]discussion groups and seminars at Bath.
[-1:11.00]Parents of Maine students have an attendance rate of 95% in the many sessions.
[-1:12.00]Joe and Malcolm Gauld both say children tend to do their utmost
[-1:13.00]when they see their parents making similar efforts.
[-1:14.00]The biggest obstacle for many parents,they say,
[-1:15.00]is to realize their own weaknesses.
[-1:16.00]15  The process for public school parents is still being worked out,
[-1:17.00]with a lot more difficulty
[-1:18.00]because it is difficult to convince parents
[-1:19.00]that it is worthwhile for them to participate.
[-1:20.00]Of the 100 students enrolled in New Haven,
[-1:21.00]about 30% of the parents attend special meetings.
[-1:22.00]The low attendance is in spite of commitments they made at the outset of the program
[-1:23.00]when Hyde officials interviewed 300 families.
[-1:24.00]16  Once the problems are worked out,
[-1:25.00]Hyde should work well in public school,
[-1:26.00]says a teacher at Bath who taught for 14 years in public schools.
[-1:27.00]He is optimistic that once parents make a commitment to the program,
[-1:28.00]they will be daily role models for their children,
[-1:29.00]unlike parents whose children are in boarding schools.
[-1:30.00]17  One former inner-city high school teacher
[-1:31.00]who now works in the New Haven program,
[-1:32.00]says teachers also benefit.
[-1:33.00]"Here we really begin to focus on having a fruitful relationship with each student.
[-1:34.00]Our focus is really about teacher to student
[-1:35.00]and then we together deal with the ... academics.
[-1:36.00]In the traditional high school setting,
[-1:37.00]it\'s teacher to the material and then to the student."
[-1:38.00]The teacher-student relationship is taken even further at Hyde.
[-1:39.00]Faculty evaluations are conducted by the students.
[-1:40.00]18  Jimmy DiBattista, 19, is amazed he will graduate this May
[-1:41.00]from the Bath campus and plans to attend a university.
[-1:42.00]Years ago, he had seen his future as "jail, not college".
[-1:43.00]19  DiaBattista remembers his first days at Hyde.
[-1:44.00]20  "When I came here, I insulted and cursed everybody.
[-1:45.00]Every other school was, \'Get out, we don\'t want to deal with you.\'
[-1:46.00]I came here and they said,
[-1:47.00]\'We kind of like that spirit.
[-1:48.00]We don\'t like it with the negative attitudes.
[-1:49.00]We want to turn that spirit positive."
